Peerless Dragon Sovereign

Chapter 703: Changes on All Sides

Just as Chu Nan was lost in thought, Gu Nianxue suddenly spoke:

"You don’t need to worry for us, in fact, everything you’ve already done for us is more than enough."

"I just hate how weak and incapable I am, unable to offer you any substantial help at such a critical moment, and instead becoming a burden to you, which makes me feel very guilty and powerless."

At this point, a hint of stubbornness and unwillingness flashed in Gu Nianxue’s eyes.

It’s worth noting that Gu Nianxue possesses a special physique, with an astonishingly high talent.

However, even someone as exceptional as her couldn’t help but feel helpless and frustrated about her own weakness at this moment.

Even in the entire Heavenly Balance Realm, she would undoubtedly become a leading figure of her generation.

But compared to Chu Nan, she was still far behind.

It could even be said that she had no way to offer Chu Nan any substantial help.

Instead, she was likely to become a burden and constraint for Chu Nan.

In the future, she was even more likely to become Chu Nan’s fatal weakness, thereby becoming a target for others.

Thinking of these, Gu Nianxue’s heart filled with hatred towards herself, hating why she was so weak.

So she made up her mind to work hard to become as strong as Chu Nan.

Only then could she offer real help to Chu Nan in the future.

Seeing the determined expression on Gu Nianxue’s face, a ripple arose in Chu Nan’s heart, and he embraced her tightly.

Their hearts were pressed closely together, beating in the same "thump-thump" rhythm.

Chu Nan didn’t care about the gazes of others around him at all, and said softly, "Gu Nianxue, believe me, the future you will certainly become very strong!"

At that moment, Chu Nan silently told himself in his heart,

"I must create a place where I can absolutely ensure their safety and meanwhile help them enhance their strength as soon as possible."

Only with sufficient strength can one truly take control of their own destiny.

Chu Nan couldn’t protect them forever, one day they would step into their own Martial Arts World.

Following this, Chu Nan and Lu Daochang together cleared the battlefield of the Ancestor Sect and soothed the disciples’ emotions.

The slaying of Huo Jiantang not only consolidated Chu Nan’s status within the Ancestor Sect but also elevated him to a status second only to the supreme Sect Leader Lu Daochang.

In fact, some already regarded Chu Nan as someone on the same level as Lu Daochang.

One must know that a strong person who can slay a Ninth Heaven martial artist, even in the Celestial Crossing Realm, only peak Ninth Heaven experts could ensure victory.

After losing Huo Jiantang and many Huo family martial artists, the Huo family chose to shut their gates entirely to visitors.

Although the death of Huo Jiantang was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Huo family, fortunately, they still had Huo Mingxian.

The two Ninth Heaven martial artists of the Huo family remained the most dazzling existence among strong races, second only to the Royal Family and the Ancestor Sect.

However, despite possessing such strength, the Huo family was in bitter distress.

They were meant to stand above all strong races, but having lost Huo Jiantang, they were unable to convert their advantage into immense benefits.

Faced with the powerful Royal Family and Ancestor Sect above them, they were far too formidable.

Even though Huo Mingxian repeatedly yearned for vengeance, no one in the Huo family responded.

After all, the strength of Lu Daochang and Chu Nan was unfathomable, capable of easily killing Ninth Heaven martial artists, like a sword hanging over the Huo family, causing them fear.

Even Patriarch Huo dared not easily speak of avenging his son’s death, let alone anyone responding to Huo Mingxian.

Meanwhile, the Royal Family found Chu Nan’s strength the hardest to endure.

Ji Shenfa had long attempted to seize the Dragon Slaughter Tower from Chu Nan’s hands.

However, as Chu Nan grew stronger, Emperor Qin Ji Shenfa found it increasingly challenging to seize the Dragon Slaughter Tower.

At this moment, he sat on his throne, his face extremely gloomy.

This ruler of the Celestial Crossing Realm radiated authority without anger, yet at this moment he felt like a volcano about to erupt, potentially consuming everything around him.

"Ji Shenhao’s Life Token shattered, even if his identity was exposed, how could the Slaughter Emperor Sect possibly kill the royal brother?"

Ji Shenhao’s death was no doubt a huge disaster and heavy blow to Ji Shenfa.

This younger brother was not only Ji Shenfa’s strongest underling but also his intimate and trusted partner.

In countless crucial moments, Ji Shenhao covertly assisted Ji Shenfa, solving problems and establishing meritorious achievements.

However, now that Ji Shenhao suddenly passed, this plunged Ji Shenfa into endless grief and rage.

His heart felt as if it was being consumed by a volcano about to erupt, burning fiercely, uncontrollably.

Ji Shenfa silently swore that no matter the cost, he must find the true culprit who killed Ji Shenhao and pay blood with blood, tooth for tooth!

Yet to Ji Shenfa’s surprise, the ruthless murderer who killed Ji Shenhao had already quietly slipped beside him without his knowledge.

"As Chu Nan’s strength continues to grow, attempting to seize the World Vein Dragon Tower has become increasingly difficult."

"It looks like only if I personally take action, can I have a chance to reclaim the World Vein Dragon Tower!"

In the Celestial Crossing Realm, only the Royal Family’s martial artists were aware of the true value of the World Vein Dragon Tower.

The reason the Ji family ascended to the throne of the Royal Family wasn’t just for first mastering the Ninth Heaven cultivation technique, but crucially because they successfully obtained the Earth Vein Dragon Qi!

With the powerful source of Earth Vein Dragon Qi, the Ji family continuously produced powerful prodigies.

Making the Ji family increasingly prosperous, ultimately unifying the entire Celestial Crossing Realm to become the undisputed Royal Family.

However, if the World Vein Dragon Tower in Chu Nan’s hands is obtained, the Earth Vein Dragon Qi would undergo a whole new transformation.

This would not only make the Royal Family’s position more stable and unshakeable.

What Ji Shenfa yearned for even more was the belief that by obtaining it, he could break through the confines and bindings of heaven and earth, reaching the long-desired realm of unity!

Ji Shenfa steadily stood up, and at the moment he stood erect, an earth-shattering dragon roar resounded within him, echoing through the heavens.

Heavy Sea of Clouds surged madly behind him, like a stormy sea; if anyone were nearby, they would find this scene immensely stunning.

In Ji Shenfa’s Nine Heaven Sea of Clouds, eight were golden coiled dragon forms, and the last Sea of Clouds was nearly transformed into a dragon shape, as if a great dragon about to soar.
